Two WAN ports for DSL and Ethernet offer double the choice
The DSL-N17U has two WAN (Wide Area Network) ports, allowing it to be used as a standalone router when not operating as a DSL modem router. You can choose which mode suits your needs at any time, reducing cost and clutter by not having to buy separate power-consuming devices. Whether for a basic home setup or a full wireless network, this dual-WAN design gives you total flexibility. -
Enhanced signal range and stability
ASUS AiRadar intelligently improves wireless connections using beamforming technology, and exclusive ASUS RF fine-tuning. This ensures extended coverage, dynamic data speed increases, and enhanced stability. -
Gigabit Internet browsing with hardware NAT
Equipped with a powerful hardware NAT acceleration engine and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, the DSL-N17U gives you full Gigabit performance. Its WAN-to-LAN throughput performance is over 900 Mbps, which is more than 4.5 times that of traditional software-based NAT Gigabit routers. This reduces the possibility of bottlenecks on fast internet connections. -
Add external storage, printers, and other devices to your network
Make DSL-N17U your media and device center. With built-in two USB ports, connect external storage drives, printers, scanners and many other USB-enabled devices to share with your networked PCs. Having your devices networked, lets you access them easier than ever before. -
Robust control and optimization with DSL ASUSWRT
With the DSL-ASUSWRT dashboard UI, setup, monitor, and control network applications all in one intuitive area. The dashboard interface lets you manage all clients and settings via a single graphical interface, and provides 1-click updates. -
